Rohan woke up bright and early and headed to the kitchen to have breakfast: a delicious orange Danish, pomegranate, a couple sausages and milk.
He then took a shower dried off and got dressed. Then went to check on the girl he brought in last night.
She was still sleeping. So he left the room and asked Hannah look out for her.
"Of course I will."
Rohan thanks her and takes off to his job as a professor.

Ella was dreaming a nice one of being with her mother .until fire came and then many voices of evil crucified her esteem with vocabulary unbearable. She woke up and realized she was in a place unknown to her. She had forgotten about last night until it came back to her: Ella was about to shoot herself until something whacked her on the head. She thought she had been kidnapped!
Until a woman in her 40s with brown hair a slight pudge, and Amber eyes came into the room. She was wearing a lovely Aqua ruffle sundress with a rope belt.
"Finally you're awake!"
"Who are you? where am I? Did you kidnap me?"
"Oh child, relax. My name is Hannah and I'm not going to hurt you. Now are you hungry? I have breakfast ready for you."
Ella was frightened and afraid of this strange but compassionate woman. And hid under the bed sheets.
Hannah came over, sat on the bed.
"What's your name? You aren't in trouble. You can trust me."
Ella decided not to ignore the kindness this woman was giving.
"Ella. My name is Ella."
"A very beatiful name. Nice to meet you Ella. Now are you hungry"
"Yes please I'm famished."
"Then follow me."
Hannah stood up and stretched out her hand for Ella.
Ella unhesitatingly grabbed it and Hannah helped her up. And they went downstairs to eat.
---------------
Ella was finally stuffed and her belly showed it. Hannah was busy putting away the food and cleanin the dishes
"Thank you ma'am. This was delicious."
"Your very welcome. By the way how is your head feeling?"
Ella's face froze with fear. And got up and ran out the door with discreet.
"Ella? Are you there?"
She looked at the table and realized she must have ran off!
"Oh no! I must have unintentionally frightened her! I have to find her!"
Hannah threw on some running shoes and quickly ran to find Ella!
---------
Ella was getting very exhausted and ready to pass out. She was very out of shape and her legs were sore. So she decided to sit and rest for a moment. And she soon fell asleep.
Until someone called her name and was shaking her, forcing her awake.
It was Hannah!
Ella jumped up and pushed her away.
"stay away from me!"
"I'm sorry I frightened you. My husband followed last night because he was looking out for you. And stopped you from killing hourself!"
"Why? I have done so much bad I don't deserve to live!"
Ella's eyes welled up with tears and the poor girl fell on her knees and cried.
Why am I still alive? I shouldn't be, she thought to herself.
Hannah came up to her and put her arms around her. And put her hand on Ella's head.
"Sssshhh. It's ok. You are not alone. Please don't leave. I wish for you to stay a while. If you're ok with that."
Ella stopped crying.
"Do you mean it?"
"Yes."
"I don't know."
"I don't know about what wrongs you have done, but I refuse to allow you to beat yourself up about it."
Ella thought about it. How can these people refuse to judge me?, she wondered, but I have no where to go. So what do I have to lose?
"Ok. I will stay for a few days, but do you have any different clothes?"
Hannah chuckled.
"Oh Ella, let's go get something to for you to wear."
"I think that's pushing it."
"Nonsense."
The two ladies walked back to the house and drove to a nearby small strip mall to get some clothes for Ella. Then headed back home.
-----------
Rohan was very eager to get back home to check on the mysterious girl he saved last night. Besides work was pretty slow. He was trying to teach about Christianity at the university but couldn't focus.
He was glad when it was time to go and that the weekend was coming up. It would give him a chance to talk with the girl.
---------
He headed home which took longer because of a blasted accident. After three hours he arrived home and walked in.
"Honey I'm home!"
Hannah ran to her hubby with a hug and kiss.
"Hello! How was your day?"
Rohan sighed.
"Boring. I couldn't stop thinking about last night."
But he soon perked up.
"Speaking of which, how is she?"
"You didn't get my texts?"
"Oops. I didn't check my phone. But how is she?"
"She's doing well. She's helping me with dinner."
"Do you think she will be willing to talk?"
"I'm unsure. Just chose what you say carefully, because I accidentally sent her running earlier."
